Actualy, best thing to do, is look for your local fed-ex delivery guy/ UPS man/ USPS mail guy/girl and make friends, and talk with them. BESURE TO tip them 20.00 a year in a nice holiday or anytime card to deliver your stuff to you ALIVE and kept warm.
No joke, When the local UPS guy sees a package for me, he keeps it in the front of his truck in the winter to stay warm, and ALWAYS calls me first to let me know I have a live delivery comming, OR will "waiver" teh signature and place it at the top of my steps in the hall since it will be there for me when I come home.
a 20.00 spot goes a long way in this delivery "thankless" buisness...
TRUSTME, I worked for Airborne Express, RPS, and Fed-EX ground for the better part of 6 years off and on as a driver, and package sort/ load employee.
